Low-hanging fruit is not enough

No one was more pleased than I over Trump’s executive orders to cut government costs, remove DIE organizations and indoctrination, fire excess government non-workers, and prohibit men from competing with women in sports. Initially, for these...

Yogi's choice

The enigmatic Hall of Fame catcher for the New York Yankees, Yogi Berra, once said, "When you come to a fork in the road, take it." Yogi was a master of "what did he say?" utterances. I miss him. But, America will be at th...

Say ‘Ahhhh!’

We are deep into the 2024 presidential election cycle, and already we’ve had an assassination attempt, a ridiculous excuse for a substantive debate, and a major party candidate, Joe Biden, has dropped out of the race for reasons suspected to be...

Don't bring a knife to a gunfight

The woke forces in government are deeply entrenched. There are more of them than can be identified by organization and title. Many government positions that have seemingly innocent names are, in fact, filled with woke sycophants. Fighting to remov...

CRT/DEI and the military

When the Roman legions returned from victorious campaigns, they were treated to a cheering parade through Rome. Riding next to each general in his chariot was a soldier holding a gold crown over the general's head and whispering to the general, ...

What Did You Do In The War, Daddy?

The battle for America's soul has been going on at least since the lovefests of the 60s. This battle has not raged. Rather it flares up intermittently whenever a radical cause surfaces. The conflict in Vietnam was a major focal point for the libe...

Ridding America of CRT/DEI

The battle to rid America of the insidious indoctrination by the Left of CRT/DEI is like a chess match. But the prize is not a trophy or a title. It is the strengthening of the Left's effort to make tribalism a fundamental force in Amer...

The Bridge is out

The catastrophic destruction of the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore provides an apt metaphor for America.  The wrecked bridge will cripple commerce and supply channels up and down the east coast and will cause similar chaos extending ...

America’s military decline is deliberate

Our military recruiting programs are abysmal failures. Similarly, the retention of our best and brightest military officers, NCOs, and enlisted personnel is a sad commentary on the military force structure. Our warrior class is not wanted, so it is a...

What's the Narrative Going to Be?

With every major issue or event, the media and the pols scramble for the words to frame the story in terms they see as beneficial to their point of view.  Unvarnished truth is generally cast aside because it doesn't lead the listener to the ...

The danger of Obama ennui

Like most new presidents, Barrack Hussein Obama came into the White House unprepared to lead the country.  As they ease into their presidencies, new presidents acquire a better feeling for the pitfalls they face and how best to move the country ...

Why Obama gives Netanyahu the cold shoulder

We are in the midst of remembering the horrors of the Holocaust.  Last night, Schindler’s List played on TV uninterrupted by any commercials.  The Holocaust represents one of the darkest times in world.  It was a true exampl...

The Ebola Information Fraud

If you are in the White House when the “s--- hits the fan,” then you are to blame for the consequences of the “s--- hitting the fan.” It was the case when the rescue effort aimed at freeing the U.S. hostages in Tehran faile...

What to do about the politicization of the Attorney General's office

The chief law enforcement officer of the United States is the Attorney General.  He/she is charged with the investigations and prosecutions of Federal crimes. When there is corruption in the government, it is the Attorney General who is charged ...

When Obama voters apologize

A good friend of mine apologized to me today.  You see, he voted for Barack Hussein Obama in the 2008 election and he lives in a so-called “swing state.”  He told me that he had not voted for Obama in the 2012 election, but that...

Rep. Joe Wilson Vindicated

On September 9, 2009, Joe Wilson, Congressman from South Carolina, shouted "You lie!" when President Obama was touting the benefits of his Affordable Care Act, now dubbed "Obamacare."  Many in America were shocked that anyone would call the Pres...

The Ineffectual Great Middle of the Road King Makers

I have a friend who claims to be part of the vast and powerful "moderate middle".  He further boasts that he and his like-thinking independents are the "king makers" in every election.  He will regale you with tales of his philosophical ...

A Viral Infection is Always More Difficult to Cure than to Prevent

A viral infection is always more difficult to cure than to prevent.  Once the infection gets into the system, the battle to reverse its ill effects is a long and arduous one.  It can, at times, be terminal. Thus, prevention is always th...

Termites in Our House

If you became suddenly aware that you have a termite problem in your house, despite having signed up with a pest control service, what would you say if that service advises you to wait for four more years to see if things improve?  Well, would y...

The NCAA Got It Wrong

The horror of the Jerry Sandusky crimes committed against young boys is almost too much to believe.  But Sandusky is off to prison where he will experience a living hell for however much longer he lives.  Joe Paterno's legacy is now one of ...

Transparency?

I occasionally encounter liberals, some of whom are good long time friends.  Most of them are, by all indications, bright people who pride themselves on being "up to speed" on the events that are driving America. When I query them as to the issu...
